Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Transient ischemic attack  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: TIAs do not cause lasting damage to the brain.
However, they are a warning sign that you may have a true stroke some day. Over 10% of people who have a TIA will have a stroke within 3 months. Half of these strokes happen during the 48 hours after a TIA. The stroke may occur that same day or at a later time. Some people have only a single episode, and some have recurrent episodes.
Your chances of a future stroke can be reduced by close follow-up with your health care provider to manage risk factors.
